1392331	2015-01-20 01:20:00	Sitting here, sweating my ring out, no air con, stinking hot How many of you work in Offices that are really too hot to work in?? To that extent you cant think straight & it really slows you down ?? Ive worked in a few like this. One office had half the window painted black, so it acted like a heater in summer. As payback, when the Boss came up to Ak, I sat him in a desk right next to the window, sweat was pouring off him within 15 minutes. If you have to wear long sleeved shirt & long trousers, its really too much . (I turned up to work in shorts,jandles & tee shirt one day , to put my point across.) can management really expect much work to get done in those sort of conditions ?	1101 (13337)

I thought there was a rule about > 24 degrees and you were not allowed too. Link to DOL.govt.nz www.business.govt.nz	psycik (12851)

1392335	2015-01-20 02:23:00	Most of the places I have worked had no aircon. You get used to it, in fact if you have air con, it's worse when you emerge into the real temps. At Uni I spent a lot of time walking all over, and getting into small stuffy cupboards and weird holes under stairs and the like.....now that's hot. Could wear what we liked though.... The hottest place I worked was glasshouse - out West, some carnation growers - a long, long time ago. I wore shorts, the owners went nude.	pctek (84)

1392337	2015-01-20 05:03:00	Or steam locomotives and the like.. :-)Not just steam, one driver I know said his cab got to 40 degrees, and this was just the driving carriage at the other end from the locomotive...	pcuser42 (130)

1392340	2015-01-20 07:49:00	If you have to wear long sleeved shirt & long trousers, its really too much . i wear long sleeves, long trousers and over that overalls, boots and leather gloves. then i work outside in the midday sun lifting heavy weights. also have to make a lot of important decisions while under that heat stress. i would love your nice cool office.	tweak'e (69)
